Coronado Springs Resort - New Unofficial FAQ Thread - November 2012

What do you all think about me requesting 8a? We stayed there 10 years ago but my memory is fading! I hate parking lot views and don't want to pay extra for water view so I thought this was a good building to request.

8A is a very popular building I'm sure you would love it if you can get a room there.

I was actually thinking of requesting Casitas near the bus stop. Isn't this one of the first pick ups? Is there a better request? We will have a one year old and my wife maybe taking her hack to the room alone at times so I want to make sure the walk is short.

Casitas 4 is our favorite location. It is the closest building to Busstop 2 which is the first pick-up. Only down side to Casitas 4 is it's far from the main pool, but it does have it's own quiet pool and the fitness center, Spa, and Salon are there.

No. And if they do, they can get fired for it.

If there's a certain section you would like to be in, call and have that request added to your reservation.

Does anyone have information about the Guided Bass Fishing Excursion or Bass Nitro Fishing Excursion at CSR?

Mainly what is the cost for either?

We recieved our Coupon booklet and there is a 15% discount coupon for that.

Well we haven't stayed at CSR yet. But I do believe the marina prices are pretty standard across the board and I do have the cost for the Guided Bass Fishing Excursion at CBR. Not sure what the Bass Nitro Excursion is.

Up to 5 guests included in these prices:
2 hour trip 7AM or 10 AM - $250
2 hour trip afternoon - $225
4 hour trip 7AM or 10AM - $435

Hope that helps. You can always call and inquire 407-WDW-BASS.

We just ate at PM last night. It is overpriced and it is an insane way of running things but the food portions are massive and good and it's really not complicated as everyone claims it is. My daughter got a burrito bigger than her head and my wife and I should have split the honey adobo chicken. It's HUUUUUGE! Like half a chicken! We went late so some of it wasn't real fresh but it was good. And they have nasty looking displays of the food so you can at least get an idea of what you're ordering.

my dbf did it a couple of years ago because he wasn't interested in MK. he said although he had a good time he didn't catch a things and didn't think it was worth the money. Of course he may have enjoyed it more if he hadn't gone alone.
Sorry i don't remember the cost.

I did not do it at Coronado Springs...but we did the bass excursion at Thanksgiving at the Yacht Club and had a real good time. Caught several nice bass with the biggest being about 5.5 lbs.

FWIW, our guide Ken (who I strongly recommend) told us that the best fishing is from Wilderness Lodge with the YC/BW/Epcot trip being the 2nd best option.

Okay, I just sent my TA my room request for 8a. That IS the one directly in between the dig site and el centro...right?

Or should I request 8b?

 

[ciera321]

Both are so close to El Centro and the Dig Site that it wouldn't make a lot of difference...

 

[ADisneyQueen]

I requested 8a b/c 8b has a lot of rooms that face the parking lot. If that doesn't bother you, either building is ok.
